Warmest congratulations to Lindsay and Peter who celebrated their wedding yesterday.  They chose a cupcake tower with 60 vanilla cupcakes, filled with jam & buttercream and topped with a sugarapste disc and edible silver bow; and 60 lemon cupcakes topped with a lemon curd buttercream swirl and blue blossom.  Lindsay and Peter arrived at the venue just as we finished setting up and so I couldn't resist asking for a photograph (and, of course, checking they were happy for me to share online).

Chris is (obviously!) in the armed forces (Grenadier Guards, going by the uniform he asked me to have the groom model wear).  He ordered the wedding cake, and Charlotte had no idea of the design.  She did, however, email me a photo of her dress and her bouquet so I incorporate the design and colours.

Police Helmet Cake

I've wanted to do a police helmet cake for years...  and so I was thrilled to finally get the opportunity when my friend ordered one for her son's 21st birthday.

Wedding Cake 'Abigail'

 

My very warmest congratulations to Abigail & Sahil. Abi chose this beautiful gold sequin cake. The original design by Zoe Clark uses gelatine sequins, but she Zoe told me that they aren't particularly palatable... so I decided to put my thinking cap on and came up with an alternative edible medium.  Abi also asked me to incorporate the Superman logo, as her fiancé (now husband!!) has a Superman tattoo, and I think it's kind of their 'thing', so there's a little surprise at the back of the cake.

Wedding Cake 'Esha'

 My warmest congratulations to Esha & Matesh who celebrated their wedding this weekend. This is my largest wedding cake. 7 tiers - a mix of real cake and dummy tiers. The colour scheme for the reception was metalics - rose gold, gold, silver... and so Esha's cake reflected.  The huge bottom tier was covered in ruffles - and then each one had its edge painstakingl hand-painted painted in gold and rose gold! The rest of the cake was decorated using a mix of edible cake lace and hand-piped royal icing. The top two tiers were covered in edible rose-gold sequins.  I don't really like having my photo taken, but my husband wanted me in a shot to give an idea of the size... I'm 5'4" tall, so not exactly small!
